I am designing a blast door using TM5-1300 manual. It's is double
leaf blast door, and can be supported on two or three sides.
My question is : How should I calculate the door edge rotation angle
for a two side support and three side support ?
In addition to edge rotation, I am also in doubt for how to select the
yield lines for 2 sides supported and three side supported door ?
How do I determine which option to choose while starting the analysis.
How would I know later that I chose a wrong yield lines ?
Thanks
